KLETKA Beginners Guide | Tips and Tricks

When you start playing Kletka, the game may seem confusing at first. The main task is simple: you must keep descending through the Giga Structure while keeping the Kletka Elevator running. The challenge comes from everything you must manage at the same time. You need fuel, repairs, resources, and teamwork. The Elevator itself also requires attention because it reacts to what you give it. Every floor brings new hazards, enemies, and resources. If you manage them well, the descent continues. If you ignore them, the run may end early. This guide explains the basic systems, controls, resources, and survival methods you need to understand when starting Kletka.

Understanding the Main Objective

Your main goal in Kletka is to descend through the Giga Structure using the Kletka Elevator. The Elevator behaves like a living system that requires constant attention. You must provide fuel so it can keep moving. You must repair it as soon as damage appears. You may also need to feed it, Organic Matter. These actions keep the system stable during the run.

Ignoring the needs of the Elevator can create problems. If it does not receive enough care, it may react in ways that harm the team. Because of this, the Elevator becomes the center of every run. Your progress depends on how well you maintain it as you move through the floors of the Giga Structure.

Fuel is one of the most important resources in the game. You will need to search for Gasoline Cans, Organic Matter, and other supplies during exploration. These resources allow the Elevator to continue descending. However, you should be careful with what you feed it. Some items can trigger strange events. For example, feeding a Live Rat may cause the Elevator to drop a Landmine onto the floor.

Exploring the Giga Structure

Each level inside the Giga Structure is different. Some floors may look like residential areas, while others may look like industrial areas. Because every floor changes, you must always stay alert while exploring.

Hazards appear often. You may encounter Bear Traps, Electrified Water, or other environmental dangers. Watching where you move is important because many traps activate when you step near them.

Resources also appear across these floors. Searching rooms and hallways helps you collect the supplies needed to keep the Elevator running and the team alive.

Enemies are another threat during exploration. Small enemies such as Flesh Flies can be handled with a Flashlight. Larger enemies like Mushroom Men require more movement and weapon use. When playing with teammates, coordinating actions makes these encounters easier to manage.

Game Modes and Server Options

Kletka supports both single-player and multiplayer gameplay. While the game is often played with others, you can complete runs alone as well.

In multiplayer, you can host your own server or join an existing one. Hosting a server allows other players to join your session while the run continues. Servers can support several players at once, and people may enter or leave during the game.

You can also use Quickplay, which automatically places you on a server with open space. Another option is joining a listed session from the available server list.

The game also allows you to continue progress using a Saved Game. If a run stops before completion, you can return later and continue from that saved progress.

Solo play has a few systems that help when teammates are not present. As you collect resources and improve your progress, you can unlock systems that allow Auto Revive, helping you survive without another player reviving you.

Using the Flashlight

The environment in Kletka is very dark, which makes the Flashlight an essential tool. You activate it by pressing F on PC. The light appears on your character and allows you to see while exploring.

The Flashlight runs on batteries. Each time you use it, the battery level decreases. When the battery becomes empty, the Flashlight turns red and switches off for a short time. After a few seconds, it becomes available again with a small amount of power.

You can find Batteries while exploring the floors. Picking them up increases the number of charges your Flashlight can use before shutting down. With multiple batteries, the Flashlight stays active longer before reaching the automatic cooldown.

Even if you run out of batteries, the Flashlight will still work in short intervals. It turns on briefly, then shuts off for a short cooldown before you can use it again.

Basic Movement and Camera Controls

You can play Kletka in either First Person or Third Person view. Press C on PC to switch between these modes.

First-person is often the safer option because many traps are placed on the ground. Seeing the floor clearly helps you avoid stepping on Trip Wires, Landmines, and Gas Traps. These traps often activate through proximity, meaning they trigger when you move close to them.

Third Person can still be used, but you must pay extra attention to where you walk. Since the camera is behind the character, it's easier to miss hazards on the ground.

Bottle Currency System

In Kletka, Bottles act as the main form of currency. You will find them scattered throughout different floors. These Bottles work like coins and are used to buy items from shops.

Players can also share Bottles with each other. To drop one, you press G on PC. When you do this, the bottle falls to the ground so another player can pick it up.

Because they are made of glass, Bottles can break if dropped from a height or onto a hard surface. When transferring them to another player, it is safer to drop them from a short distance. Dropping them close to the ground reduces the chance of them breaking.

Collecting and managing Bottles is important because they allow the team to purchase equipment, supplies, and upgrades during the run.

Resource Management for Survival

Managing resources is one of the most important parts of surviving in Kletka. You should always watch your fuel supply and keep Medkits available when possible.

Certain items provide temporary advantages. For example, a Rake can increase your attack strength during combat. Vodka can provide short boosts to speed and defense, which may help during dangerous encounters.

Keeping a balance of resources allows you to handle unexpected problems while descending through the Giga Structure.

Repairs and Elevator Upgrades

The Kletka Elevator may suffer damage during the run. When this happens, you must repair it using tools such as a Wrench. Regular repairs keep the Elevator functioning properly.

You may also find Gears while exploring. Installing these Gears improves the Elevator's performance. These upgrades can increase its durability or efficiency later in the run.

Taking time to maintain and upgrade the Elevator helps your team survive longer and reach deeper floors.

Surviving Samosbor Events

At times, you may hear alarms that signal the start of an Samosbor Event. During this event, the surrounding area fills with Toxic Purple Gas.

When the alarm begins, return immediately to the Kletka Elevator. Once inside, close the doors and remain there until the event ends. Staying outside while the gas spreads will quickly lead to death.

Recognizing the alarm and reacting quickly allows the team to survive the event safely.
